The Biblical book of Daniel is believed to have been written in a similar manner to the book of Revelation. Indeed, in many places, it clearly resonates with it. However, according to historians, the book of Daniel was created much earlier than the book of Revelation, according to the new chronology [reconstruction of historical events established by Fomenko and Nosovsky], the scenario is reversed. as we have seen, the Revelation was written not earlier than 1486 [see more about it here] ​since the horoscope [zodiak] of 1486 was included in it. On the other hand, the book of the prophet Daniel was likely created significantly later. The biblical book of Daniel probably first emerged in the second half of the 16th century. And the version that has come down to us likely dates back even to a later time, to the beginning of the 17th century. This clarifies why the interconnection between the Revelation and the book of Daniel points to the fact that it was Daniel who drew his imagery from the Revelation, not the other way around. Let’s provide a few examples of clear similarities between the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation.

The Revelation says:

„The beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. ” Revelation 13:2

The book of Daniel retells this passage with these words:

„After this I beheld, and lo another, like leopard which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominon was given to it. ” Daniel 7:6

The Revelation says:

„And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns… And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.” Revelation 13:1,5

The book of Daniel echoes the Revelation:

„And behold a fourth beast, dreadfull and terrible, and strong exceedingly… and his ten horns… in this horn were… a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:7-8

And so on and so forth, The close kinship between the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation is well known. In the Scaliger chronology, it lacks a satisfactory explanation. In the new chronology, everything falls into place. The book of Revelation was written around 1486 A.D. the book of Daniel, however, is later work, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Moreover, it turns out that there are other clearly late medieval books attributed to the prophet Daniel. A prominent example is the so-called The Daniel’s Final Vision.

The Daniel’s Final Vision did not make it into any modern biblical canons and had never been published until recently. The reason is that it clearly contradicts the contemporary chronology in many places. After all, Daniel is considered an Old Testament prophet who supposedly lived long before the birth of Christ. But how can we understand the fact that the geographical names used in his prophecy are purely medieval? The rite of baptism is even mentioned. All of this unequivocally places Daniel’s Old Testament prophecy in the medieval Christian era. However, the Scaligerian chronology is incapable of accommodating such a shift. It crumbles under its weight.

The following excerpt from The Daniel’s Final Vision is quoted from a Church Slavonic manuscript held in the manuscript department of the Russian State Library.

When Fomenko and Nosovsky attempted to access this manuscript in the State Library in 1992, they encountered significant difficulties. This is how it unfolded. One of the authors, Gleb Nosovsky, was registered in the manuscript department at the time. With a library card from the manuscript department, Nosovsky requested to be given the aforementioned manuscript. In response, he was told that this was not possible. In the manuscript department, there is a rule that if a manuscript is taken by someone and left on the storage shelf, it will remain there for four months during which it will not be given to anyone else. Fortunately, at that time, an acquaintance of Nosovsky, Maria Borisova, worked at the lending desk. She kindly agreed to provide the manuscript for a brif examination. When the manuscript was finally handed over, and Nosovsky saw its book card, he was astonished. It turned out that over the last 20 years, it had been handed to one and the same person exclusively. This individual only needed to come to the library once every four months to secure possession of the manuscript for a lifetime. Before that, the manuscript had been secured by another historian for approximately the same amount of time. And so on. An extraordinary pattern emerged. It appears that historians have the ability to make any inconvenient manuscript completely inaccessible to the public. Formally, it remains in the library, supposedly available to the public, but it will not be given to anyone. This is because it is associated with a particular historian, in this case, for the past 20 years. The fact that this historian has not bothered to publish the manuscript over the course of 20 years is inconsequential. The manuscript will still not be released. Such a procedure, which existed in the manuscript department of the State Library prior to 1992 and likely continues to exist there, effectively amounts to an unofficial prohibition an outsiders accessing various ancient sources. This prohibition is not accidental at all. It us simply necessary for historians who are wary of allowing outsiders access to unpublished ancient manuscripts because they understand that such manuscript might contain information that sharply contradicts Scaligerian version of history. Some historians, regardless of whether this version is true or not, may see the defense of it as meaningful to their existence.

The Daniel’s final vision was transcribed by hand by Gleb Nosovsky in the reading room of the manuscript department in 1992. in this Old Testament prophecy, medieval European nations are directly named Russians, Tatars, and Ishmaelites. The Ishmaelites and the Ethiopians are refered to as Tatars. Furthermore, there is explicit mention of the Christian rite of baptism. The well-known medieval city of Thessaloniki, or Salonika, is also refered to. Towards the end of the prophesy, distinctly Christian expression are used, including a mention of the Antichrist. On other hand, it’s worth reiterating that this text is attributed to the Old Testament prophet Daniel, who supposedly lived in a Pre-Christian era, long before the beginning of the Common Era [a calendar system that begins in the year 1, which is traditionally considered the year of the birth of Jesus Christ].

The Final Vision of the Holy Prophet Daniel

Thus says the Lord Almighty: woe to you, earth, when the angelic scepter reigns within you. Then the Lord Almighty commanded one of His angels, saying to him: descend to the earth and take from it truth and peace, and cause people to consume one another. And He sent other angels and commanded one of them: go to the northern islands: let your number be 1144, for two parts must be overthrown there, and the third part taken. And to another, He said: go to the western lands and let your number be 1200, for two parts must be overthrown there, and the third part taken. And to the third angel, He said: go to Asia and Phrygia [ancient kingdom in west-central Anatolia, modern Turkey], and Galatia [ancient area in central Anatolia, modern Turkey], and Cappadocia [modern Turkey], and Syria, and to the very Mother of cities, and let your number be 1360, for two parts must be overthrown there, and the third part taken.

Woe to you, earth, from torment, for the Lord Almighty will send upon you a wild locust and bloodless ones. Eight plagues will be sent upon you, and neither animal nor tree will be left. The wrath of God is upon those who have not repented for their many iniquities and injusties. For eighteen months, wounds will be inflicted upon them, until those who remain alive will envy the dead, saying: blessed are dead, for they have not experienced these present days.

And by God’s command, fire will emerge from the sea and burn the living on land and sea, and it will reach the Seven-Hilled City and turn westward. Woe to you, Seven-Hilled City, from such wrath! You will surround your yourself with a multitude of warriors and resist as if victory were near. Your beautiful walls will fall like fig leaves, and a youth will enter you. He will place a diminished scepter within you, but he will not retain it. He will lay hands upon the holy sacrificial offering and consume the holy one and give it to the offspring of destruction.

And the slumbering serpent will rise and strike the youth, and he will take his diadem for himself and exalt his name briefly. And the offspring of destruction, having established themselves, will turn towards the West. And thus, the slumbering serpent will deliver the venerable one to death.

And the RUSSIANS will hold the Seven-Hilled City. The sixth and fifth people will sow their poison within it, and many will consume it in vengeance for the saints.

And the East will be rule by three rules. Yet, someone in the West will govern the East.

And after this, the lawless one will arise, and the other with him. The other will be great and wild in appearance. They will defeat the ISHMAELITES and annihilate them to the root. The peoples living in the North will be troubled, and all the northern will march with fierce under and reach the great river, dividing into fourth parts. The first part will take its portion in Ephesus [modern Turkey], the second in Melagina [ancient city of Lagina, modern Turkey] , the third on the edge of the field, which is Pergamum [Pergamon, modern Turkey], and the forth in Betania [?]. They will gather many trees [weapons?] and enter Syria itself.

The peoples living in the South will be troubled. The great Philip will rise with eighteen nations, and they will gather in the Seven-Hilled City. There will be a battle like none before. Then Vus will cry out, and Skeralaf will weep, Stalorin will say, „Rise up, peace be upon you, and vengeance upon the disobedient. Got to the right side of the Seven-Hilled City and find a man standing between two columns, his hair white with righteous age, giving aims to the poor, with a piercing gaze and gentle wisdom. He is of medium height, and on his right leg, inn the middle of his shim, there is a scar. Take four-life-giving angels and crown this man as king.”

They will bring him into the holy Sophia and crown him as king, placing a weapon in his right hand, saying, „Be courageous and conquer your enemies.” Taking the weapon from angel, he will strike the ISMAELITES, the ETHIOPIANS. And all the other TARTARS. He will divide the ISHMAELITES into three parts. With weaponry, he will destroy the first part. BAPTIZE [Sic!] the second, and with great fury, drive the third towards the Sinle Oak. Upon his return, earthly treasure will be revealed, and will become rich, and there will be no poverty. The land will yield its fruits sevenfold, and weapons will be transformed into sickles.

He will reign 32 years, and after him, another will come, distinct from him. Anticipating his death, he will come to Jerusalem to surrender the kingdom to God. after this, four of his sons will take the throne. The first will reign in Rome, the second in Alexandria, the third in the Sevene-Hilled City, and the fourth in THESSALONIKI. They will wage war among themselves. Priests and monks will be turned into warriors and clash in battle. None of the will be spared, for there will be no worthy man among them.

And after this, another will rule in THESSALONIKI for a short time. Immediately, Smirna [modern Turkey] and Cyprus will sink into the sea from the breath of the wind. And thus. The ANTICHRIST will reign, performing deceitful miracles. He will exalt the Jews and restore the fallen city. There will be famine and earthquakes everywhere. Water will dry up, and rain will not fall upon the earth. The the heavens will fold, and the angels of God will sound the trumpet, and all those who died before will rise. The Lord will suddenly come to judge the living and the dead. To Him be glory forever. Amen.
